Album of the Day

Released in 1977 as the disco era was near its peak, TOGETHER was Sister Sledge's second album and shows the quartet well on their way to becoming dance-floor icons. Recorded at New York City's Power Station with producers (and Silver Convention masterminds) Michael Kunze and Sylvester Levay, the Cotillion collection has uptempo numbers like “Blockbuster Boy” and “Cream of the Crop” to get you moving and a high funk factor thanks to a couple of Stevie Wonder and Allen Toussaint covers as well as “Do the Funky Do,” one of three Sister-penned songs here. Including ballads and the Brazilian-tinged “Can't Mess Around with Love,” there's much beyond Eurodisco here, and TOGETHER Kathy, Debbie, Joni and Kim Sledge harmonize as beautifully as ever.
